This is probably my most intimate connection with a whale.
This year whale season had started badly for me, as all my plans got canceled a few days before schedule. I was kind of depressed, already thinking I would miss the entire season, an event I have been waiting for a year.
Fortunately, in an unexpected turn of events, I have met this friend Ben. He decided I would not miss the chance and he saved my whole season! I am now spending most of my days with him and a few friends at sea.
On our second day, we spotted two whales in the distance and headed their way. We killed the engine and to our surprise, they immediately came our way, swimming around the boat. This usually never happens...
